GETTING STARTED  
BATTERIES  
The table stand is in the back of the product. See below  
for how to assemble the table stand.  
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will  
need to purchase 4 X UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries  
for the main unit, and 2 X UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V alkaline  
batteries for the remote sensor.

Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity  
as shown in the battery compartment. For best results,  
install batteries in the remote sensor before the main  
unit. Press RESET after each battery change.

NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline  
batteries with this product for longer performance.  
To mount the product on a wall, put the stand inside  
the back of the unit and then place it on a wall, as shown  
below.

REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)  
This product is shipped with two THN122N Thermometer  
Sensors that collect temperature data. Data can be collected  
from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately.  
SETUP SENSOR  
1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with  
a small Phillips screwdriver.  
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and –)  
as shown in the battery compartment.  
For best results:  
SWITCH  
OPTION  
Insert the batteries and select the channel before  
you mount the sensor.  
Channel  
Channel 1-3. If you are using more than  
one sensor, select a different channel  
for each sensor.  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 230 feet (70  
meters) from the main (indoor) unit.  
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment.  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)  
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,  
and furniture.  
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on  
the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and  
CHANNEL on the main unit to initiate signal sending  
between the sensor and the main unit. The reception  
icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3  
minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to  
the “Data Transmission” section for more information.)  
Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to  
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.  
Position the sensor close to the main unit during  
cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures  
may affect battery performance and signal  
transmission.  
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.

DATA TRANSMISSION  
SEARCH FOR SENSOR  
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The  
reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows  
the status.  
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and  
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.  
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the  
batteries, obstructions, and remote unit loaction.

DESCRIPTION  
Main unit is searching for  
sensors.  
NOTE Signals from household devices such as  
doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security  
systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is  
normal and does not affect general product performance.  
The reception will resume once the interference ends.  
At least 1 Channel has been  
found.  
Channel 1 is selected  
(number will change  
depending on the sensor  
you select).  
CLOCK  
The main unit automatically synchronizes the current time  
and date on the clock when it is brought within range of  
the WWVB-60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort  
Collins, Colorado. For more information, please visit:  
www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.stations/radioclocks.htm.  
The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within  
932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.  
--- shows in Outdoor  
Temp Area  
The selected sensor cannot  
be found. Search for the  
sensor or check batteries.  
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated  
when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press  
RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop  
blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
